On hobby community
A stream of consciousness blog… sounds like an idea. With that to mind I will address the good feeling of gift giving/sharing hobby with younger people or others in general and establishing a tradition of gaming among friends and family. As people, we can spontaneously create things that are bonds between us which are personal and without greater impact than maybe a small group. This is organic and without any greater import than the people directly involved. What becomes of a whole lot of people that do this is a community with tradition. There is a cultural growth and norm development that includes handing down from the past to the future. The experience of where our hobby comes from, the names of people who did impressive things or personalities which inspire to promote positive sentiment and a few tales of guidance all make for an overarching subset of people.
Are we a subculture?
Properly set up not for displayMy gift to my nephew arrived all safe and sound that he reported via text message. It makes me happy to see that I have the impact of being able to guide a younger nerd with his own hobby and impart my insight when I am asked it. Thankfully I have more years with my other nephews as Otterpups to warp guide their little minds… lol
